Autumn the Quilava and Mik the Mimikyu's "Parlor Show"
Weasyl: https://www.weasyl.com/~unownace/su.....-s-parlor-show
Having left her toxic dysfunctional parents' house and living on her own for some time now, Autmun October the Quilva soon found that while the freedom from her smothering uptight family was great...there was just the little problem of having no income. After a few minor run-ins with the law for various counts of pick-pocketing, shoplifting and burglary, the roguish young-adult Quilava and her best buddy Mik the Mimikyu decided it might be time to try using their skills of slight-of-hand and flare for gothic fashion in a more "productive" way. So where better to start than as side-show parlor performers? I'm sure nothing could possibly go wrong with this new gig...right?
(Been a while since I've drawn these too, but I was bored and wanted to put out SOME kind of content this month while also trying to keep it somewhat "Halloween-themed.")

You mean here? https://www.furaffinity.net/view/36453342/
Well this time SHE'S running the show, and she's gonna do it HER way...(by that i mean very dangerously. :P)

Nah, that one's not in her skill set. She's more about slight-of-paw, acrobatics and escape-artistry.
She has BEEN Hypnotized at least once though...non-canonically anyway. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/36453342/

I was quoting a film called The Prestige.
For context, the two rival stage magicians, Robert Angier and Alfred Borden, had started out as stagehands under another magician named Milton. Their service with Milton ended when an accident occurred onstage, Angier’s wife, Julia McCullough, drowning as a result of being unable to free her bound wrists during a water escape. A wedge was driven between Angier and Borden at Julia’s funeral, when on being asked which knot he’d tied for the water escape (either a simple slip knot, as they’d done in previous water escapes, or the more complex Langford Double, which both Borden and Julia were in favour of and Angier- and Milton’s ingénieur, John Cutter, who would later work for Angier when he went into business for himself as ‘The Great Danton’- was against), he claimed he didn’t know. Naturally, Angier didn’t take this well. So, when Borden capped off his own solo début as “The Professor” with a bullet catch, Angier volunteered under a disguise, and- after being handed the pistol for the performance- slipped an actual bullet into the barrel and, having subtly let Borden know who it was holding the gun on him, repeated his coffinside question. When Borden again professed ignorance, Angier pulled the trigger. Had Borden’s own ingénieur, Fallon, not intervened in that split second, Borden would likely have died then. As it was, the bullet merely took off two of Borden’s fingers.

Ah. Never saw that movie. All I know is that it has Christian Bale playing twins and Hugh Jackman as a mad inventor who created a teleportation machine just for a messed-up stage act where his "clones" would be dropped into a tank to drown over and over again.
Heh. Anyway, I can at least provide you with the relevant clip: https://youtu.be/fjP7GGjumXo
Well, on the topic of Nolan films, someone COULD sneak into the audience who has a pretty good "pencil trick." https://www.furaffinity.net/view/29603980/
While the "water tank escape" trick will probably be one of the "performances," it'll be less "We did almost everything right but things went wrong" and more "Screw safety! It can't be THAT hard to escape several layers of straitjackets, shackles, belts and an airtight muzzle with no key, right?"
